All about Webcomm SMS/Email alarms
With the introduction of the MACE WebComm card, the MACE FloSeries3 and/or XCi devices have the
ability to upload data to the MACE Data Server on a user-configurable interval for viewing and retrieval on the
MACE website (www.macemeters.com/www.macusa.com). The user is lso able to configure SMS and email
text alarms based on uploaded site data. Some examples:
1. An alarm can be configured based on “ Flow Rate
” to notify the user that a pump has stopped
pumping (when the flow rate is zero).
2. An alarm can be configured based on “ Total ” accumulation to notify the user that a certain amount of
water has been pumped.
3. An alarm can be configured based on “ Depth ” to notify the user that a river is no longer deep enough
for water to be extracted.
4. An alarm can be configured based on “ Rain ” accumulation to notify the user that an amount of rain
has fallen.
5. An alarm can be configured to notify the user that their WebComm card has “ stopped ” uploading.
Really, the options for alarm configurations are only limited by the sensor/s that the user has connected to
their XCi device.
WARNING: As with any cellphone technology, alarms sent from the MACE Data
Server should not be relied upon for “critical” information, particularly in areas with
limited cellphone coverage.
